Brad: You have it all, don't ya?Denise: Ya, I have it all. I'm in love with a man that's dying. Lucky, lucky me.

Denny: Here's the thing about rich people, Alan - we get whatever we want.

Shirley: Denny, there's a rather monstrous rumor going around that you customized a doll in my likeness. A doll you were caught having sex with in a closet.Denny: It was him. (Points to Alan.)Alan: I assure you, I'm holding out for the real thing.

(About the Shirley doll.)Shirley: You truly can't see how this might humiliate me?Denny: You're jealous?!

Denny: What do you mean she's measuring you for trousers? Is that some kind of fetish? Would I like it?

Tom Raulston: I got a second AND third opinion, and they all say it’s inoperable. I’ve been through the whole

Made it to acceptance.Shirley: And now you seem to have made it to the final stage: profiteering.Daniel Post: These non-terminals have no sense of humor.Tom Raulston: My daughter—she wants me to fight the cancer, but the thing is, if I do the chemo and the
radiation, the most I may buy is 3 or 4 really nasty months. I don’t want that.Denise: Okay, here’s what we’re gonna do. We’re gonna plead not guilty, and go with your story that this
is just two friends helping each other out.Daniel Post: Great.Denise: Except that’s probably not gonna work out. So, we’ll also need to file a motion to dismiss on
constitutional grounds.Shirley: And then hope that in the Constitution somewhere it says it’s okay to sell your body parts to
the highest bidder.

Cultural References

Marlene Stanger:Buzz Lightyear, isn't that the name of the Ken doll with benefits.

Buzz Lightyear is a character in the 1995 animated film, Toy Story. The character, Buzz, thinks he is in a military-esque group that patrols space, when in fact, he is just a toy.

Ken has long until recently been the boyfriend of the Barbie line of girls dolls.

This is a reference to the episode, Til We Meat Again, where Shirley, under the advise of Denny, used a position that going against their client, was being a nanzy-panzy. Judge Clark Brown was presiding in that case as well.

Denny: I'm never taking you fishing again.

This is a reference to the episode, Finding Nimmo, where Denny takes Alan to Nimmo Bay in British Columbia, Canada.
